Yes, i've done a search, aswell as looked at the 'similar' threads.
My problem is that i'm at college and the network requires the use of a proxy server. It's just a simple username and password required, and i'm guessing this is why LFS cannot connect to the master server.
I don't beleive LFS cannot get around this, and if it can't well then it's pretty disappointing.
Thanks, Brent.
